It wasn't a catholic church, but he spent his time in the church as what we call around here in Oklahoma "cheat", others call it "darnel" or "tares". It looks just like wheat, until it's harvest time. The heads on wheat get heavy at harvest and bend over, cheat heads stand tall, you only tell the difference in their fruit.
i once believed as you do. then i grew up and got educated. what is your excuse? in any case ever heard the term "once saved always saved"? i have a get out of jail card.
"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. You may have attended church, served in it, tithed sang in the choir, I don't know but by your own words (fruit) I can tell you have never had a personal relationship with God. You may have played church but you've never been a part of "The Church"
Obviously at this moment for those of us alive the relationship between man and God exists on a spiritual level, however it is just as real. For those here that do not believe in God, they say I've been brainwashed, etc...etc... But there's no way I can deny God's existence, for I know He's real.
So you think it is nonsense that they teach that it is not normal to put your weenie up another boy's butt?
It is nonsense that they leave out all modern understanding about homosexualty. But that's religion for ya. It is nonsense that a church would spread bigotry, hate and lies. It is nonsense that the sheep blindly follow, preferring ignorance over understanding.
and why does god,since he is all powerful and claims to love the little children, allow priests to do it?
